[quote=Anonymous][quote=Nola2]We are in the process of the IEP review with ES. We are not yet placed to any school. We do have a recommendation letter from our DS private therapist saying it is best to keep him in PreK-4. We are still waiting to hear back ES's decision. However they are hinting to enroll him to K and see if he can handle it .. Which we think is a disaster.  
We would like  to know our rights. We want to know if anyone have been in the same situation and what you have done.
Thanks [/quote]

The public school doesn't like delaying/retaining b/c it costs them more money.

Private schools will often encourage delaying/retaining b/c it makes them more money.

I would email the Wright's Law website and see what they say.  If you need someone to make your case during the IEP meeting then an advocate would be a good move but expensive.  Would your therapist be willing to attend the IEP meeting and make the case since they already know your kid?  You'd probably need to pay for this service.

If the school finds your kid "ready" for K and won't offer you pre-K, do you have a back up plan, e.g., private school/home schooling where he would go?[/quote]
